This inspiring documentary focuses on four years in the life of Muhammad "Misha" Alsheikh, a talented teenage pianist from Ramallah, who is the son of a Palestinian father and a mother who came from Russia. It takes Muhammad 3 hours to get from his house to a piano lesson with his Jewish-Israeli teacher in Jerusalem. Despite his father's will that he will become a doctor, Misha tries to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional pianist - and also stay happy.


Guest Speaker: West Coast NCSY Director and Director of CCJCC's Project Impact Akiva Naiman will provide the historic background for why the wall separating parts of Israel from the West Bank was erected.


Underwritten by Jo Alice Canterbury.
